Rainy Day - Improv
on: December 12, 2006, 01:07:04 AM
Hello, I improvised this today and thought I would post it just for fun. I recorded this with my edirol R-9 on my Yamaha C7.
Enjoy,

Hi m1469,
I just listened to your piece Rainy Day. It's a fascinating piece. The opening is atonal or mybe 12 tone with thick texture. You have a great imagination. Did you have the piece sketched out? The left hand provides a solid bed for the melody and lends a comfortable feel due to it's predictability. The texture thins as you approach the end. Maybe a heavy storm is becoming a light shower and then fading away to a fine mist. As regards balance, I would have liked to hear more of the storm before it died out.
Thanks for sharing your work, I enjoyed it very much.

Certainly imaginative, m1469, and very modern. I liked the opening and, like jozart, I found myself wanting the initial texture to last longer. The ability to improvise from a given programme or image is not, alas, one which I possess to any marked degree. Let us hear more please.

Hi m1469! This is definitely one of the most impressive improvs I've heard here on pianoforum. I like the dark syncopated opening with the strong basses. It is been followed by a mild melody accompanied by soft chords. This part for me represents a sort of contemplation. Then, after a short return of the syncope motif, a transformation begins. And differently from the previous posters I like this part (between 5.30 and the end) the most. It successively leads my feelings up to higher spheres. There is light, love and clarity.
There is hope and gentleness. This sort of music brings me in touch with the sense of life. And once more I hear something in your music that i always intend to express myself too. You did not only make my day with this but much more!
